Hi Everybody,

Kevin and Mary Tillman are heroes. If you haven’t watched the Tillman/Lynch Hearing from April, 2007, this four hour hearing will open your eyes to this brave family.

Kevin’s opening statement brings down the gauntlet. Mary Tillman, Pat and Kevin’s mom, takes on Rumsfeld. They refer to Pat’s death as fratricide, not friendly fire.

I hope you will take the time to watch this in preparation for the August 1st hearing.

Jessica Lynch was great too.

Are bloggers part of the news media? The U.S. government — led by two of its most secretive agencies — is increasingly saying, “Yes, they are.”

Despite the rap that bloggers simply “bloviate” and “don’t try to find things out,” as conservative newspaper columnist Robert Novak once sniffed, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) have altered policies to indicate they’re taking blogs seriously, and a growing number of public offices are actively reaching out to the blogosphere.

Administration Urges Full Warhead Funding
By Walter Pincus

The Bush administration has told Congress that delays in funding for a new generation of nuclear weapons may require a return to underground testing to ensure that older warheads remain reliable.

The administration included the warning in a four-page statement on nuclear weapons signed by the secretaries of energy, defense and state and sent to Congress this week. The document defended the so-called Reliable Replacement Warhead program, the funding for which is contained in fiscal 2008 authorization and appropriations bills still before Congress.

BTW, the link I posted above about oil is 4 pages. ^ This is the post concerning “sour oil”

As Moore himself pointed out on Tweety’s show earlier this week, why is pointing out the truth about health care, lax gun laws, lying about going to war with Iraq, or corporate greed considered “radical”?

i have come to the conclusion that telling the truth, in contradiction to the “polite” fictions of our culture, is considered (best case) like passing gas in public. it is just not done – at least by “polite society”.

or as george orwell wrote: “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act“

Michael Moore was a guest on The Tonight Show last night, got a lot of applause and was kept as long as possibile by host Leno. I couldn’t immediately put my finger on why I felt ashamed, then realized: the establishment in our country portrays this genial, ordinary guy as some kind of radical.

thanks for that. i did not watch (and forgot to record).
